B1L6 課本ppt.pptxB1L6 課本pdf檔.pdfReading
Joe Whale was a 9-year-old boy in England. He was always bored in class, so he doodled all the time. He enjoyed drawing pictures a lot and drew all kinds of things, such as animals, robots, aliens, and so on.
His teachers couldn’t understand his love of drawing. Therefore, they complained1 to his parents. However, this didn’t make his parents angry; instead, they put him in an art class! Soon after, Joe’s talent2 was recognized3 by his art teacher. Later, Joe’s art teacher posted4 his drawings on Instagram. A restaurant owner saw these pictures and asked Joe to doodle on his restaurant wall.
At first, Joe’s family was worried. They knew Joe had difficulty focusing5 for a long time. Also, the restaurant wall was big, so Joe would have to create lots of new doodles. Joe’s father thought his son would just give up. However, Joe was not only patient6 but also very determined7. After days of drawing, the wall was covered with hundreds of fun little doodles! The restaurant owner and his customers8 loved them. After that, Joe’s parents set up a website to share Joe’s creative doodles. Soon, his doodle wall became famous!
In the end, Joe’s parents’ support9 made his art a great success10. With a little encouragement11, anyone can do amazing things!
